How To Set Up a Home Gym for Beginners and Beyond

During my 100 pound weight loss journey I slowly over 12 years built out a home gym.

Back in the day, 12 years ago, I had a little kid who HATED going to the gym day care. I just couldn’t leave him and knew I needed to figure out how to workout at home.

Committing to my exercise was non-negotiable for me. If I had to get up early, do it at home, or get crafty that’s what I would do. I just knew the only way I would lose weight and keep it off was if I made it easy on myself to get things done.

I decided to take away my excuses and have plenty of options for when life threw me curve balls!

This video will show you everything I started with back in the day and we tour my current gym.

I also recommend getting some workout DVDs if you need some instruction.

My favorite program for women is Chalene Extreme. It’s older, but my clients still love it. I will bust out the Burn Intervals from that system when I want a full body cardio workout. Great modifiers!

Disclaimer! I am a Beachbody Rep (only because I love Shakeology and I need solid videos to recommend to my private clients). As someone who has lost 100lbs I can tell you honestly their systems have great instruction.

Also, check out Fitness Blender on YouTube. It’s FREE! And, for yoga I recommend www.doyogawithme.com for free yoga for all levels.

Corrine, you ARE the voice of reason! Thank you for covering so much in this video. My one question is, how do women who work full time manage to join your tribe and participate in your Facebook live segments and webinars? I’m just getting started with the free program. Thank you kindly for giving the gift of your time and energy to those of us who are needing to get back on track with your guidance while we clean up the thought processes that have formed a blockade to our own success.

This video has hit me hard. I’m about to get dressed right now and head to Planet Fitness which I have been a member of for a year but haven’t been there in 6 months. This IS my start day. Praying I will FINALLY do it.
